Question
How do I tell if my hermit crab is a girl or a boy?

Answer
On the fifth pair of legs there might be two black dots....if they are there its a girl, if not its a boy. Dont try to pull them out to see...they will rip. Try giving a bath and see if they will strech out or made them walk on a glass table with you underneath to check it out.
